Street vendors (PKL) put up white flags on Jalan Ahmad Yani, Tegal City, Central Java, Tuesday (27/7/2021). The flag installation was carried out as a sign that the street vendors had given up on the rules applied during the Level 4 community activity restrictions (PPKM) implementation. The street vendors also demanded that assistance for street vendors be immediately distributed.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The various moves taken by the government to control the COVID-19 pandemic for the last one and a half years have not yet been fully capable of freeing Indonesia from the crises caused by the disease. However, the public remains confident that the government will be able to overcome the pandemic. The confidence constitutes social capital that can be utilized to keep COVID-19 in check.

Results of a survey by the Kompas research and development division in July show that 60.7 percent of respondents are confident that the government will be able to surmount the pandemic. Only 36.4 percent of respondents are not convinced that the government will succeed in controlling COVID-19. In the perspective of public evaluation over the past year, the rate of confidence has indicated a declining trend.
